Please reply: A or B. Attached are two files: A and B. They show two logos. Please reply and say which one you favor. Thanks to Aira, Chip, Eleonore Jones and Gary Rodosta for working so diligently to make a logo. We've arrived at two and need to decide on one. The key difference between the logos is the representation of the bicyclist but the font style and other graphics including the "M", the skyline, the shading, etc. are all factors that we've considered. Please reply just to me. I will tally the vote. If there's a tie, I will select by flipping a coin. Keep in mind that the logo will be used on anything we produce from as big as billboards to as small as correspondence documents and in media including web site, facebook, twitter, billboards and paper. Voting will be open until next Thursday. Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Good morning, I made the following additions to the list. I added Positive Spin because our focus is on getting people started biking who can't afford to otherwise - and lot's of them are new to town and have trouble finding us. I added the community centers because these are places where many of our customers need to go. Hope this helps, Nick Bike shops Positive Spin (added by Nick Hein) Community Centers (added by Nick Hein) Rock Forge Neighborhood House Scott's Run Neighborhood House The Shack Wiles Hill Senior Center Mon Senior Center (Mountaineer Mall) Bartlett House Christian Help Friendship Room ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: fgmeindl(a)gmail.com Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:52:48 +0000 >I've shared a document with you: > >Destinations to show on Morgantown Bi... >https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AbMUwYEF9kqZZGd0c2czOGZfMGNtZG5uOGd0&hl=… > >It's not an attachment -- it's stored online at Google Docs.

Confident City Cycling 2/13
by Frank Gmeindl 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Bicycle Board Members, For those of you that have not completed the Traffic Skills 101 course, if you want to complete the on-line course at http://www.bikeed.org and then do the hands on part at the Coliseum and on local roads, I will schedule the Coliseum for Saturday, February 13, 2010 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. We will meet at the Coliseum Room 252, learn and practice crash avoidance maneuvers in the parking lot and then practice traffic skills in. traffic! Please reply ASAP. If another date would suit you better, let me know. Also, I'm conducting the full live course here in Morgantown Sat. 2/27 8:30 am - 4:30 pm and Sun. 2/28 8:30 am - Noon and you're welcome to participate. I currently have 4 likely participants so have room for up to 2 more. This should be an interesting class because at least 3 of the participants are taking the course so they can then attend the League Cycling Instructor (LCI) seminar to become LCIs. That means they'll probably bring much knowledge with them to share. They're from Parkersburg, Wheeling and Erie.

FW: MPO Conference Bike Ride
by Frank Gmeindl 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Bicycle Board Members, Anyone interested in leading a ride for the participants of the Statewide MPO conference in September? There are 7 MPOs in the state. They make the transportation plans for the state's metropolitan areas. Getting them focused on cycling could have an impact across the state. Their home base is the Hotel Morgan. County parks listed at http://www.boparc.org/parksfacilities/index.php that might be worth considering include: Krepps Park White Park Marilla Park Whitemoore Park and Trails King Street Park Jack Roberts Park Hazel Ruby-McQuain Riverfront Park South University Avenue Park Jerome Park Caperton Trail Deckers Creek Trail MEA Fishing Pier Mylan Park at Chaplin Hill Dorsey's Knob Park featuring Sky Rock White Park Trails Beer? Let me know if you're interested in doing something with this. I'll organize those interested. Frank Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles From: Bill Austin [mailto:baustin@moncpc.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 11:26 AM To: frank.gmeindl(a)comcast.net Subject: MPO Conference Bike Ride Frank, We are now in the stages of planning the MPO Conference Bike Ride. The ride should take place the evening of either Tuesday 9/21 or Wednesday 9/23. My initial thought is that maybe we could have a ride to the MPO Conference picnic tentatively scheduled the evening of the 23rd. I have not selected a site for the picnic but I thought that a county park would be appropriate-if they allow beer. Please let me know your thoughts particularly on the potential location.
